About Tonight

2007_0514_abouttonight.jpg>> Didn't get a chance to attend one of the Eastern Market benefit happy hours last week? The E Street Austin Grill will donate 33 percent of its food sales after 5 p.m. tonight to the Capitol Hill Community Foundation's "Eastern Market—Keep It Going" fund. 750 E Street, NW in The Lansburgh.

>> !!! (chk, chk, chk) stop by the 9:30 Club in support of their new album Myth Takes. With Canada's Holy Fuck. $18. Doors at 7:30 p.m., tickets still available.

>> A rare treat for Western fans. The Museum of Modern Art's restored (and only existing) 35mm Cinemascope print, printed from the original 70mm version of The Big Trail, John Wayne's first leading role (he was only 23 and looks impossibly young) will screen at 6:30 p.m. The story is pretty standard, cheesy fare: Wayne plays Breck Coleman, who leads a wagon train of pioneers through Indian attack, storms and deserts and falls in love along the way. But with the fantastic original tagline "The Most Important Picture Ever Produced," how can you miss it? At the AFI Silver Theater.

>> Asylum hosts its regular Monday night Texas Hold 'em Poker Tournament. Games start at 7 & 10 p.m., and it's free to enter.
